The good, the bad, and the ugly....but not in that order

It was a long weekend. The boy was up coughing again, and my husband has a cold. He didn't drag himself out of bed until 11:30 yesterday. I don't seem to recall being allowed to sleep in when I was sick....and he was on holidays. Apparently he has a Man cold, and that's different.

I didn't get out to run either. I walked a couple times. But! I ate really well and I lost 6 pounds! I posted on the weekend about losing 5, and then I got on the scale before posting this morning...just in case...and I'd lost one more! If I keep this up I may just get over my phobia of scales.....

And Bad! Drank out of a bottle yesterday! 5 ounces! I may actually be able to wean him before he starts Kindergarten! Woohoo!

6pounds! Fantastic.
I feel you on the scale thing-- my test is how the skinny jeans fit-
I would like to buy a good scale though- like one I saw at Sharper Image.. any pointers?

Congrats on the weight loss! That's great!! Man colds are apparently a lot worse than woman colds, or at least Mom colds. We're still expected to do everything we normally do :)

My younger daughter didn't wean until close to 3, so I totally understand where you're coming from. Yay for Bad!

WOOOT A bottle! YEAH! Amy is taking a bottle (of water) for bedtime and overnight and not needing a breastfeed over night anymore. WOOT!

hee. Man cold. Funny!
I hear they are far worse than the woman colds.
Great work on the 6lbs. You're a star!
Re: the bottle - stay strong. we just registered my son for Junior Kindergarten today and I'm happy to report he is well and truly weaned. I was afraid I'd be nursing him well into highschool.

I've got a scale phobia, too. Wish I could develop a food phobia, and perhaps I'd be right there with you losing the pounds.

Congratulations!! That's A LOT for such a short amount of time! I love kicking the scale down a notch. She needs to learn.

Good on you!
